Starting quarterback Mac Jones days as a starter could be numbered if he continues to play the way he has the past two weeks. If he has another bad game this week, he could end up on the bench. Jones has been benched twice the past two weeks in favor of Bailey Zappe but the next time he does get benched, it could be permanent and it could be for…

Have you looked at what’s out there? Firing Bill Belichick may not be the solution
In a story published earlier this week by The Athletic’s Jeff Howe, Patriots owner Robert Kraft would not hesitate to fire Bill Belichick. The story cited Kraft displeasure with this season thus far and the overall direction of the franchise as the reasons he would part ways with Belichick. Both are valid concerns but moving on from Belichick is far from a slam dunk. Have you looked at what’s out there…

Are we on the cusp of seeing a new Mac Jones?
It’s pretty clear that the majority of the fan base doesn’t believe in Mac Jones as “the guy” going forward. Frankly, he’s given no reason to believe in him. But, the team feels differently. Both Bill O’Brien on Tuesday and Bill Belichick on Wednesday expressed confidence in Jones and said he would be the starter this Sunday when the 1-4 Patriots travel to Las Vegas. Belichick bluntly said “yeah, we…
